Women as Drummers.
From the Albany Argus.

From the Albany Argus.
A few years since when the busi-
ness community was startled by the
innovation of women as travelling
statesmen, it was argued that they
would not be success, as they could
not fill the many social obligations
required to sell large amounts. An
experience OF two or three years,
however, has given the matter an
entirely different aspect. 1t is found
that the lady drummer makes an i'm
preston on the country merchants,
especially in the West, where the
male members Of the fraturnity
would fail. A commercial man of
large experience says the merchants
will hola their orders for the lady
drummer, even though a dozen Of
his own sex offer and beg to fill them
on advantageous terms.
Again they are always in need of
something when the lady drummer
calls, while with the man it is more
often, nothing today" The sue
cess of the women drummeIs is much
more marked with the merchants of
the opposite sex than with their own.
Women in trade do not usually take
kindly to women as commercial trav-
elers and it has been suggested that
in the future, when everything is
"down fine" women will be en-
ployed exclusively to sell to the men
and the men to take orders from the
women in trade; but as only a small
proportion of merchants and traders
are of the gentle sex it is obvious
that when that day comes, if it ever
does, the ladies will have practical
monopoly of the bushes, as the
males do now, and the men must
then find something else to do.
